The Labor Resource Center Presents
Labor in Latin America:
Fighting an Uphill Battle
Workers across Latin America, like those in the United States, suffer from the effects of globalization and pro-business policies. In fact, globalization and economic restructuring are hitting Latin America even harder than the U.S., driving millions into poverty. No wonder so many are trying to migrate to the United States!
And yet, workers across Latin America are fighting back, in many cases electing pro-labor governments.
Come hear frontline reports about how workers in Latin America’s two largest countries, Mexico and Brazil, are faring today.
